Behringer Video Mic X1 X/Y On-Camera Condensor Microphone

The VIDEO MIC X1 brings professional-grade stereo recording to content creators without breaking the bank. This compact camera-mount microphone features dual high-quality condenser capsules arranged in an X-Y configuration, capturing spatial and lifelike audio that matches your camera's field of view. The unidirectional pickup patterns focus on sounds directly in front whilst reducing unwanted background noise, making it perfect for journalists, podcasters, and video bloggers who demand clear, professional results. Built with a durable copper alloy housing that provides excellent RF rejection, the VIDEO MIC X1 works seamlessly with DSLR cameras, video cameras, and most audio recorders. Power options include your camera's plug-in power or a single LR44 battery (sold separately), with an intelligent auto-switching circuit that manages the transition. The convenient power switch doubles as an audio filter, offering flat response for standard recordings or low-frequency roll-off to enhance clarity in bass-heavy environments. The microphone's compact design makes it highly portable, whilst the included high-performance shock-mount eliminates handling noise during filming. A discreet windscreen tackles outdoor wind noise, and the resonance tube design captures more natural sound than many competing microphones. Everything packs neatly into the supplied zipper pouch, creating a complete recording solution that's both affordable and professional-grade for today's content creators.
